Matthias Krings explores the myriad ways Africans respond to the relentless onslaught of global culture. He seeks out places where they have adapted pervasive cultural forms to their own purposes as photo novels, comic books, songs, posters, and even scam letters. These African appropriations reveal the broad scope of cultural mediation that is characteristic of our hyperlinked age. Krings argues that there is no longer an "original" or "faithful copy," but only endless transformations that thrive in the fertile ground of African popular culture. 410 0$aAfrican expressive cultures. 606 $aPopular culture$zAfrica 606 $aMass media$xSocial aspects 607 $aAfrica$xCivilization 607 $aAfrica$xSocial life and customs 607 $aSubsaharisches Afrika$2gnd 607 $aUSA$2gnd 615 0$aPopular culture 615 0$aMass media$xSocial aspects. 676 $a306.096 686 $aLC 13465$2rvk 700 $aKrings$b Matthias$0961308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822204003321 996 $aAfrican appropriations$93989618 997 $aUNINA
